For those of you who tried to follow my instructions the first time around, only to find out that it still didn't work--sorry about that...I've since updated the instructions so please go back and re-read my instructions carefully, including the part where you will need to redownload my plist files (the ones I originally uploaded were older versions). Again, it is important that you follow the instructions in the exact order listed--any deviation from it will almost certainly result in no Google/Traffic/Weather. I used WinSCP to copy the plist files from my PC to my iPhone, but you are more than welcome to use whatever tool works for you--just make sure that the files you need to copy over actually copy over successfully (i.e., overwrite the old file version on your iPhone), that any files you delete actually are deleted, and check all file permissions/ownerships.

Thanks Tonytone... Awesoommeeee.... I think the problem was the .plist files... I did follow the instructions the first time the right way... I just wrote it wrong in the reply... But I went ahead and downloaded the updated .plist files on page 36 of this thread and, now everything works perfect. Thanks very much for taking the time to answer the questions and provide all that help....

angelsinojos--you're welcome! Yeah I was perplexed when I tried to follow my own instructions the very first time, only to discover that Google didn't show up...then I decided what the heck, let me check my plist files...that's when I discovered that the ones on my correctly-working Garmin app didn't match the ones I originally uploaded.

Did you have a chance to mess around with Traffic and Weather (you'll need to download the free trafficTrends feature in the Garmin in-app store, assuming that it's available for your region), and see if the Fuel Prices feature works? Just curious, that's all...

Tonytone-- The fuel prices work, and I have to say that is a neat feature, it is green when the price is fair... and red when it is expensive in some places. the weather on destination works just perfect, and as for the traffictrends, I am downloading it now, I am in the east coast... thanks again

@Americanlifes... the last line of host file should be like this:
127.0.0.1 gold.garmin.com

Now, all the files you copy to your phone, .img and .plst, after you copy and replace them, you need to open those files in IFILE go to var/mobile/applications, find the garmin app and set the permissions for those files: Owner: mobile, Group: mobile , user: read, write, execute, group: read, execute, world: read execute

Follow Tonytone instructions on page 44, and set the permissions and that should work.

Now all are working, but the Pedestrian mode, give me an Error. It is impossible to calculte a route for pedestrian. can anybody help me

Can you take screenshots of the error and also possibly of the Pedestrian mode screens so that we can see how far into Pedestrian mode you can get into before you get the error?

angelsinojos--just curious...does Pedestrian mode work for you after you got everything working per my instructions? If that too works, then I think my instructions can be considered pretty much solid--meaning, if stuff like Google or Pedestrian mode still doesn't work after all that effort, then odds are that something was not done correctly when executing my instructions.

Tonytone...
How to use the Public Transportation Mode, for example, Train.
The Routing options are Car and pedestrian only.
Lets say I wanna travel by train, How can I use the Transit Type, Train Mode?
Thanks
